Show Notes
In this episode, we’re joined by Dan Trepanier — founder of Articles of Style, former Division 1 basketball player at Columbia University, and one of the early pioneers of online men’s fashion content.
Dan shares his journey from growing up on a farm in Ontario to playing Ivy League basketball in New York City, eventually transitioning into fashion, entrepreneurship, and content creation. Along the way, he opens up about identity, masculinity, fatherhood, and the lessons he learned from both success and failure.
We talk about: Division 1 basketball and mental resilience Entrepreneurship and building a fashion brand Authenticity in the social media era Modern masculinity and online culture Fatherhood and balancing business with family life Work ethic, discipline, and self-respect The psychology of style and confidence Why presence matters more than “legacy”
Dan also explains how Articles of Style evolved from a simple menswear blog into a successful custom clothing business focused on intentional living, timeless style, and helping men feel confident in how they present themselves.
A powerful conversation about identity, purpose, discipline, and becoming the kind of man you actually want to be.
